Ozzy Osbourne on running barefoot and diet woes

‘People used to run barefoot all the time when I was growing up. Usually it meant they’d just nicked a telly and couldn’t afford shoes’

I always brush my teeth immediately after drinking cola, but a friend told
me this is bad. Why?Lara, Cornwall

You’re basically giving your teeth an acid bath. It’s better to wait an hour
until all the cola’s been washed away by your saliva.

The same thing is true with acid reflux, believe it or not.

If you’re really desperate to brush, you can rinse first with an acid-zapping
mouthwash.

My neighbour swears that running barefoot is the best form of exercise.
Should I try it?Noel, Worcestershire

People used to run barefoot all the time when I was growing up. Usually it
meant they’d just nicked a telly and couldn’t afford shoes. Unless you’re in
the same situation — or your name’s Tarzan and you live in a jungle — it
doesn’t sound like a very clever idea to me.
